lunch with my australian godmother6

I’ve explained before that I not only have a cantonese godmother, but I even have an australian godmother, yeah? Actually, I not only have an Australian godmother, I even have an Australian GRAND-godmother! :D(she’s my Australian godmother’s mum, obviously. XD)
The first time I met her, she told me just to call her ‘nana’. She still lives by herself down in melbourne, and can you believe it – she still DRIVES! I think she’s somewhere in her mid-late eighties.
Anyways, nana’s my only penpal right now! Yup, that’s right, we keep in touch through snail mail. After all, you can’t really expect an eighty-something year old to be facebooking, can you? XD
The funny thing, though, is that she has tremendously flowery writing. I remember, one night, when dad went and checked our letterbox, he came back with a letter. “em, I think this letter’s for you,” says he. “but I can’t read the writing, it’s too flowery.” And while I’m now much improved in deciphering her cursive, in the beginning I had to ask mother please to figure out for me what exactly it was that nana had written to me! XD
Anyways, I last saw nana around Christmas last year – wow, that’s about six months ago! But on Tuesday, mother and I met up with mrs. Dent and nana at the springwood fasta pasta!
They arrived before us, but they both stood up when we arrived, and I immediately gave nana a great big hug. Mrs. Dent walked over, laughed, and said “what about mine?” so I gave her one too.
Being the incredibly boring person I know myself to be XD I stuck with my tried and trusted favourite, fettucine cabonara with added chicken. Mother ordered herself some pizza, while mrs. Dent and nana both had the same dish, some kinda ravioli with red sauce. I drank a lipton’s lemon iced taste (coz I love the big fat lipton’s glass they provide it in for you :P), mother drank coke, while both mrs. Dent and nana drank cuppucinos.
Did you know, now that renee is married, her new surname is wolf! Hehe, I think they get more interesting with each generation – nana was ‘anderson, her daughter’s ‘dent’ and now renee’s ‘wolf’! XD
We also shared some garlic bread before tucking into our main meals. Hmm … next time, must introduce mrs. Dent to cheesy garlic bread … that stuff’s simply divine. 
Also huge thanks to mother who managed to curb her oft vile tongue – she didn’t diss me, dad or anyone else that whole afternoon! 
I also learnt that the dent family dogs are getting on in their years. Jag’s the grandpa, at ten years old, rosie’s eight, and even little bobby’s six now!
Have I said yet? Huge thanks to mrs. Dent who shouted us; better still, she said that we can all catch up at the coffee club for lunch once more before nana heads back down interstate!
Next post here … lol, I never did remember to post my entry about disabled parking permits, did i? maybe see you soon, then!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
